The projected risk of plant invasions on the peri‐Antarctic islands under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
The peri‐Antarctic islands have largely been shielded from alien plant species due to low human pressure, limited introduction pathways, and local harsh climates. However, climate change is expected to lower these barriers. We assess the vulnerability of 12 peri‐Antarctic islands to invasion by 2220 plant species invasive in at least one region of the ...

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases: A Systematic Review of Functional Foods, Medicinal Plants, Phytochemicals, Bioactive Compounds and Nutrients Effective Against Metabolic Diseases

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates how functional foods, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds and essential nutrients combat metabolic diseases. It highlights their mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, insulin‐sensitising, lipid‐regulating, gut microbiota‐modulating and mitochondrial‐enhancing effects, leading to improved ...

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.
